1 '0 all whom 'it may concern.

Be it known that I, CHARLES Ron SCOTT, of the4 city of Montreal, Dominion of Canada, have invented anew and useful Improvement in Wardrobe or Hat- 'Hooks; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexeddrawing making -a part of this specication, in which- Figure l is a front elevation of the foundationLplate A with the -hooks C inserted;

Eig-ure 2,:perspective vieW'of a hook, showing 'the beveled base of the same; and

Figure 3, front elevation of foundation-plate A, showing beveled projections instead of openings B.

The nature of the invention consists in a foundationfplate, lboard, molding, or similar contrivance., provided at intervals with openings, grooved projections, pins, knobs, or other description of supports, lettered BV in drawing, for movable hooks, rings, or their equivalent', to hang bats., clothes, or other articles 4upon in the halls or rooms of houses.

' of anyior'uamental shape or design.` Y

B B are openings, which may be made to form part of a pattern in the foundation-board A, and are so constructed'as to have a groove fitted to receive and hold the beveled base of the hook C. In tig` 3 the letter B marksor shows the grooved projection, which answers the'same purpose as the opening B in g. 1. By means of this arrangement the hook C may be securely held in its position on the foundation-plate A, and it may be readily moved, when so desired, and set closer to or further away from the neighboring hook; or all the hooks may be taken away and replaced, at pleasure.

IIdisclaim all'the present contrivances in'which the foundation-plate, board, or molding A, or its equivalent, and the hooks C, are permanently, so to speak, fixed together.

The wardrobe, clothes', or hat-hook O, when inserted in the ornamental plate A, having the part between the recesses raised so as to receive the shank or foot of the removable hook C, ail constructed and arranged inthe manner and for the purpose described.
